Key Adoption Criteria
​We are a small team and can receive a high volume of enquiries so priority will be given to potential adopters who are ready to adopt and match our basic criteria.

If you do not fit the criteria, or we have received a high volume of enquiries for the dog you have applied for, you may not receive a reply.

Before completing the enquiry form and registering an interest in one of our dogs, please ensure you meet the following:

• ​Our minimum age for adopting a dog is 30 years.  A high volume of dogs are returned to rescues due to circumstances changing, especially when starting families / having children and the dog then becomes an extra expense, unable to walk or be given the basic care they need, so are therefore no longer wanted and are returned. ​ For this reason we are strict on this adopting criteria, and we ask anyone considering starting a family now or in the future to really consider all aspects before taking on a dog as they are also a long term commitment regardless of future changes.  

 

• In the case of puppies, or young dogs under 1, adopters must be under 65 years old. Our pups need a lot of training and are very active, for this reason we will not place an active 4 month puppy with older adopters.

 

• Our minimum age for children living in the home is 5 years old, please ensure you have checked the age restriction for the dog you are applying for as some have an older child restriction.

 

• We will not home a puppy with a family who have an older dog in their twilight years, over 10 years old. We do not agree with cross over dogs and feel it is not fair on the older dogs, puppies require different types of care to them, and their energy levels are much higher which can be too much for older dogs to cope with.  We feel they deserve a peaceful quiet twilight. 

 

• We require your garden to be fully secure with a minimum fencing height of 5ft (1.5m).  Please only apply if your garden is has no broken or low fencing.  We cannot reserve a dog pending completion of fencing installation.

 

• You must be in a position to adopt / bring a dog home from the date available or ready now for current foster dogs.  Our home check process can be quick for ready, suitable families.  

​

• You must be able to travel to Fleet, Hampshire and surrounding areas to meet our dogs with a view of adoption. We only allow meetings after a successful home check.
